Wouldn't having a smaller ego help with making better decisions?

The question you're looking at might be where to start. Is it better to start by improving the odds of making better decisions by taking life less personally, or is it better to assume that you're more or less alright and your idea of better choices just needs to be implemented.

This is a very tentative interpretation.
